It's also been a while, so I have no idea what sort of drivers this thing needs. Will http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=51 be enough?

To quickly get a card going (without installing anything onto the system) run CTCM (the Creative Plug and Play program) and then AWEUTIL /S.

The card should now be up and running.

That's it? It thought you needed CTCU as well.

Only if you want to change the resources that CTCM picks for you. CTCU is in the same folder as CTCM anyway though 😀

Curses, the Panasonic DOS USB driver doesn't seem to like the USB controller on my ASUS P3B-F. That's going to make things a little more complicated.

All right, that ought to do it. MI2 on the CT3670 and, for good measure, the CT3600.

Both sound like OPL3 to me.

EDIT:

Amazed at the clean recording. My Sound Blaster cards are very loud in comparison...

CT3670 has an AWE64 chipset, but with 30-Pin memory slots.
CT3600 has the vibra 16 pro CT2502: the best output quality of the whole SB16/32 line AFAIK.

Both cards have CQM.

Phew! I was afraid I had seriously misled the OP, but it seems like I haven't 😀.

Since I had everything set up, I thought I'd give it a whirl on my SB Live (sb0100, using sbeinit.com).

While adjusting the volume, I noticed that sbemixer.exe had a checkbox labelled "MT32", so I tried the recording with that marked as well... I don't think it made any difference, though.

Did I mess up somewhere? There's got to be a way to make it work better than this. 😒
